I Hear the Words of Love

Music by Genevan Psalter; alt. William Henry Havergal, words by Horatius Bonar


I hear the words of love,
I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice,
And I have peace with God.

It's everlasting peace!
Sure as Jehovah's name,
It's stable as His steadfast throne,
Forevermore the same.

I change, He changes not,
The Christ can never die;
His love, not mine, the resting place,
His truth, not mine, the tie.

The cross still stands unchanged,
Though heaven is now His home,
The mighty stone is rolled away,
But yonder is His tomb!

I know He lives on high,
At God's right hand above,
I know the throne on which He sits,
I know His truth and love!
